72 Hours In Sri Lanka: 7 Reasons Galle Should Be Your Next Travel Destination

6. Sample local flavors and explore the restaurant scene

Sri Lankan food is often overshadowed by the better-known Indian curries, but the local cuisine in Sri Lanka is healthier, lighter, and arguably more delicious. The Amangalla offers a wonderful curry sampling dinner, which is perfect if you can’t decide what you want to have or you're an open-minded novice to ethnic food. If you find yourself craving Western cuisine, Sri Lanka’s growing expat community includes ambitious restaurateurs who have brought their country’s cuisine to the town. Hit up Why Beach for authentic Italian food cooked by a cute Italian grandma who only speaks Italian. Or, if you feel like indulging in healthy California-fusion dishes, check out Kahanda Kanda, a little boutique resort in the middle of a picturesque tea plantation.
